PACER scientist Joshua M. Epstein, Ph.D., is expanding his agent-based modeling work that explores how the interaction of individuals can shape mass behavior during major events, such as natural or man-made disasters, political upheaval, and economic turmoil.

PACER has developed a suite of web-based applications to help
hospitals, emergency planners, first responders and others plan for
disasters and forecast flu outbreaks. EMCAPS 2.0, FluCast, and
Surge are free after registering and setting up an account.

Gabor D. Kelen is the current and founding Director of PACER. He
was also the Primary Investigator on the Medical Surge Capacity
Metrics project and on the Creation of a Society for Disaster
Health project, which were funded through a Department of Homeland
Security grant.
